# Ecosystem Directory

The [Ecosystem](https://hash-ly.com/ecosystem) page is a directory of projects building on Hedera. The community submits projects, the Hashly team approves them, and users star them every day.

## 🔍 Browsing Projects

* ⭐ **Featured** — projects the Hashly team has marked as Featured
* 🏷️ **Category chips** — one category at a time
* 🔎 **Search** — matches project names and descriptions
* 📊 **Order** — most stars today first, then alphabetical

Each card shows the logo, categories, country flag, name, a short description, links to the website, X, Discord and LinkedIn, and today's stars. Featured projects have a gold edge and a **View project profile** link.

***

## 📄 Project Pages

Every approved project has its own page at `hash-ly.com/ecosystem/<project>`, with its logo, description, **Visit website** button and social links. When the Hashly team has linked tokens or NFT collections to the project, a **Tokens & Collections** section lists them, with tokens linking to SaucerSwap and collections to SentX.

**Featured** projects get a full profile on top of that:

* 🖼️ A banner
* 📰 **News** published by the project
* 📜 A longer description
* 👥 **Team**, with roles and social links
* 🔗 **Resources**
* 🗺️ **Roadmap**, with each milestone marked Planned, In progress or Done

Projects that aren't featured show a **Detailed profile coming soon** card instead. For a featured project, the Hashly team can assign an owner wallet, which gets **Owner tools** on the page to publish news. Those articles appear on the project page and in the **From projects** column on [News](/hashly-docs/discover/news-feed.md).

***

## ⭐ Starring Projects

* 🗓️ **One star per project per UTC day**, weighted by your voting power
* 🔄 **Today's stars only** — the counter starts again from zero at 00:00 UTC
* 📊 **Uses one of your daily votes**
* ⛓️ **Recorded on HCS** as an asset vote, with the project's slug as `ecosystem:<slug>`
* 🧠 **Feeds Mindshare**, where ecosystem project stars are the strongest attention signal

See [Voting System](/hashly-docs/discover/voting-system.md) for the full rules.

### 🔎 Review

* 🕐 A new application waits for review and isn't public until it's approved.
* ✅ Once approved, the project appears in the directory and as a pin on the **HashWorld** globe.
* ⭐ The account that applied receives **100 XP** (Dragon Boost applies) and progress on the **Ecosystem Builder** mission.
* 💎 Featured status and the owner wallet are set by the Hashly team.

***

## 🌍 HashWorld Integration

Each approved project is mirrored to [HashWorld](/hashly-docs/community/hashworld.md) as a project profile, placed by the country you chose. The profile takes the project's name, logo, country, X handle and the first 280 characters of its description, and it stays in sync when the project is edited.

***

## 💡 Tips

* ⭐ **Star the projects you use.** Stars reset every day, so today's ranking reflects today's support.
* 🔗 **Add your X link when you apply.** HashWorld reads your X handle from it.
* 📰 **Own a featured project?** Articles you publish from Owner tools show up on your project page and on News.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hashly.gitbook.io/hashly-docs/markets/ecosystem.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
